The command "smbdadm join -u" runs w/o any problem. But when it comes to 
idmap I have suffered a major screw-up just two days ago that cost me 
dearly. As soon as the kerberos was configured, and * users and the 
often-mentioned basic Domain Users and Domain Administrators groups 
where added in idmap, no share including those with guest access could 
be accessed anymore. Messages was flooded with "smbd[1862]: [ID 801593 
daemon.error] smb_idmap_batch_getmappings: Mapping not found or 
inhibited".  I couldn't find a way to solve that issue.

Even when I left the domain, idmap continued to amok. idmap and 
smb/server would hang with no way to kill it until I changed the 
workgroup to an ephimeral value and flushed idmap after another re-boot 
of the whole machine. This came with a serious but sneaking degradation 
of CIFS shares access, kicking in after app. 8 hours from when I 
initially had left the domain.

The AD PDC.

Not on OI, not on the DCs

No

Deactivated on fileserver, and all DCs.  Some clients don't have IPv6 
deactivated, but the issue occurs on pure IPv4 clients as well.

Probably related ones, yes. I am not sure if the explicit error message 
occurred there.

Not enough experience yet.

The issue is always sporadically on individual clients.

Explorer and Office. In Office the outages are more extreme.

Not that I am aware of.

Thanks for your help.

With kind regards,
